TOKYO, 26 October 2022, (TON): US Deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman said “the United States will make full use of its military capabilities, including nuclear, conventional and missile defense, to defend its allies Japan and South Korea.”
Sherman said North Korea’s repeated firings of ballistic missiles and artillery in recent weeks were provocative military actions.
North Korea has described them as practice runs for the use of tactical nuclear weapons.
Sherman said “this is deeply irresponsible, dangerous, and destabilizing.”
It will be second in-person meeting of the three officials since conservative South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol took office in May, signaling an improvement in difficult ties between Japan and South Korea.
